strange to Inc. About IL O'Clock crossed pla-

edge OF q canon the existence OF which had not

Sioux were feeling rather sore. II they were

an anonymous writer; but they may have been
there since Shakespeare's time. The gentle Willie
himself may have carved them. The lines are as
follows:

Being interested In that fine Scotch specimen q

party or friends, TO this famous yacht, then an
chored OF staten Island. for the purpose OF yiew-

already been mentioned, that the Thistles iron
work looked much heater and appeared to be
better than that the Volunteers but upon closer
inspection IL was plainly seen that there was a
covering OF some kind over the hull, forming sort
OF skin as it were. Upon examination along the
waterline OF the yacht some fractures in this skin
or shell covering the iron work were observed.

new In our waters, as yachts heretofore have gen.
orally had covering merely OF copper or OF some
good antl-frctton paint for their wet surface. or
possibly some pot lead, which is generally applied
just before race by our yacutsnrn. This new APP
picatlon Is TO lessen the yachts rrictional resist
ance as the friction, which OF late has been found
TO be enormous, depends upon the surface and
speed OF the vessel.

THE JACKSON STANDARD: JACKSON, OHIO, THURSDAY JUL

Gen. Wolseley, the English soldier,
has written letter to an Ex-Confed-
crate, Gen. Dahlgren, Of Mississippi,
in which he expresses some admira-
tion for Gen. Sherman, and among
other matters pertaining to the Re-
bellion, expresses himself thus con-
corning jeff Davis:
"Of poor Mr.. Davis letter I prefer
saying little When | remember his
career and his present position, [ can
sympathize with his dislike to all out
side criticism upon the events in which
General Lee achieved such immortal
renown. | am sorry that man who
had the privilege of being friend of
that high bred Virginia gentleman
and soldier should write as he has done
of one who is a complete stranger to
him-of one who has committed what
in Mr.. Davif' eyes is evidently the
objectionable fault Of presuming to
criticise the policy and acts of the ex-
Confederate President. Mr.. Davis
self-appreciation causes him to think
himself a greater man than those who
deal with him historically are prepar-
ed to admit remain, sir, faithfully
yours. NoLSELEY.
To GENERAL G. G. DAHLGREN.
Gen. Wolseleys great center of ad-
miration was Gen. Bob Lee, and he
writes, now and then. high strung eu-
logies upon the old man. That Gen.
Lee was great General, cannot be
disputed That there were greater
Generals on the Union side, cannot be
disputed. As to General Lees worth
as a man, the American people would
like to treasure up his martial achieve
ments, to the forgetfulness of the
fact that he took a solemn oath to
support and defend the Government
of the United States, then deliberate
ly entered into a conspiracy and arm
ed rebellion to destroy it. That is the
most conspicuous act in Lees life. As
to poor old jeff, Wolseley should not
be too severe on the old Knight Of the
Hoped Skirt now, for Wolseley's
Government did all it dared to do to
sustain the Confederacy, and destroy
the Government of the United States.
1t supplied arms, ammunition and
sailors, to the Confederates, and Eng
lish capitalists are even now sadly
reading the hollow promises printed
upon Confederate Bonds. No wonder
the English dreamers feel sadness
over the capture of Lee.

OBITUARY.,


Caroline Eaton was born in Barton,
Mass, Feb, Il, 1910. Died June 2, 1881,
aged II years, 3 months and 10 days. She
was married to Thomas Lloyd in '36 to
whom she bore eight children, five of
whom are still living, two sons and three
daughters. She joined the M. E. Church
in 1850, and remained member until
last Thursday at about 1890 when her
membership was changed from the
church militant to the church triumphant
above. Nearing the end she expressed
her confidence in Jesus, saying, "He will
not forsake me-" and asked all to meet
her in Heaven. Sister Lloyd was a loving
wife, an affectionate mother, and sympa-
thetic neighbor. When her voice was too
feeble to speak audibly, she whispered,
"Going home tomorrow"

The Republican party has given
Jackson County good administration
ever since it was entrusted with pow
er in the County. We have no desire,
for present purposes, to criticise any
other party, we have to deal with the
old Republican party. 1t has never
betrayed the trust reposed in it by the
people It has never failed to give
good account of it's stewardship. It
has fulfilled its promises, and kept its
faith. No party known among men
could do more. The people Of the
County know the faithful old servant
as one to be trusted at all times. Any
confidence reposed in it will be held
most sacred. This party comes before
the people with a ticket, asking their
suffrages, and maintaining that the
past record Of the party is sufficient
guarantee of future faithfulness. No
applicant for position of trust can
give higher testimony as to worth and
integrity than the certificate Of the
benefciaries Of past services. This
kind of testimony the Republican par
ty Of Jackson County gives, and in
giving it presents a ticket deemed in
every way worthy of support, and one
composed of worthy Republicans. In
this attitude the old party comes be-
fore the people. It has no fear of
scrutiny of its past record-no fears
of its ability to prove its faithfulness
in the future.

Now, look here. IF we expect to

publicans we have nothing to do with
Prohibitionists. They form distinct

Dor party, or any other political or
ganization, and in both the Prohibition

hopelessly at the mercy of a little
company of men who talk nonsense. !"

One evening last week the Police
pulled drunk man out of wagon,
on Portsmouth Street, and took him
before the Mayor. To this a friend
raised strenuous objection, urging the
fact that the man was helplessly
drunk, and could do no harm, even
being on his way home. Well, this
looks sad, but there is another point
to-consider. This young man--and
it is not necessary to give his name
has respectable family, and wide
range of friends and acquaintances.
He knew that to come to town and
get drunk would disgrace them, as
we'll as make brute of himself. He
knew that getting drunk was viola
tion of law, and that the officers are
hired as agents of the people in en-
forcing the law He knew all these
things, yet he took the chances. In
stead of getting liquor and going out
Of town and swilling himself full, as
he might have done if it was the liq-
uor alone he was after, he hangs
around the Internal doggeries, max
ing public nuisance of himself, and
drawing public attention to himself.
The officers were under no obligation
to let him go home. In fact, home is
the very last place a drunken man
ought to be. We know it has been a
common practice in almost every
town, to send man crazy with liquor
to his helpless family, to keep them
up all night working with a raging
maniac, in order that some miserable
devil of a doggery-keeper might get
the money that of right belonged to
them. If a man, knowing the penal
ties attached to violating the law, de-
liberately goes and violates it, he
should be made to feel the weight of
the law. Nobody desired this young
man to get drunk and make a public
exhibition of himself. He thought
it smart, and thought the people Of
Jackson were dying to know that he
could get drunk. 1t was just that he
should be pulled.

A fellow giving his name as w. M.
Bibb, of Kentucky, was here last
week fixing machinery. He went
about from house to house, repairing
sewing machines and other light ma
chinery. At the house Of family
named Halterman, on the lower end
of Main Street, he was guilty of con-
duct not laid down in the Jackson
code of morals, and not in accordance
with preconceived ideas Of common
decency. He was pulled and taken
before the Mayor. Jackson has no
need for fellows who act like Bibb is
accused of acting.

Hon. Ben. Butterworth expresses
himself in an interview as believing
that President Cleveland ought to go
to st. Louis to the G. A. R. Encamp-
ment, having once accepted the invi-

boys are in honor bound to treat him
well, because he is President of the

high office" OF course they would
treat him right, but his friends can
claim nothing because Of the respect
due the office. Mr.. Cleveland himself
does not seem to have any regard for
the dignity of the Office, having stoop-
to acts in themselves degrading to the
Presidency. He can only claim the
respect due Grover Cleveland-not that
due the President of the United States.
